Show Notes

How to start seeds indoors: What seed-starting growing medium and other indoor propagating gear is best, from flats or pots to heat mats and lights–and what’s worth growing from seed, anyhow? How can we water seedlings the best way and otherwise care for them? Those are some of reader and listener questions my friend Ken Druse and I addressed.

It's seed catalog season, when we gardeners in many regions may not be able to grow much outdoors, but can dream big. Ken, author of “Making More Plants: The Science, Art, and Joy of Propagation,” joined me on the radio show and podcast to help us all get ready for a successful season of growing from seed. 

This show and story is part of my annual Seed Series, and we’ll be giving away a copy of Ken’s book on A Way to Garden dot com.
